Dreams of Dark Angels

welcome to storm’s world

Since The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit first appeared in 1987 (and long before that), Storm Constantine’s “cauldron” has produced a phantasmagoric array of creative works, everything from her best known piece, the Wraeththu trilogy, to Andrew Collins-inspired works like the Grigori trilogy and Burying the Shadow, on down to fantastic visions like Calenture, non-fiction books like Bast and Sekmet: Eyes of Ra, and dozens of short stories.

To read one of Storm’s books is to enter a world where there is much more than meets the eye and mysteries lie at the heart of things. Magic is essential, and sexuality, often of the forbidden variety, yields not only pleasure but a means of altering reality and opening up the doors to these mysteries. Storm’s different races and cultures– the Wraeththu, the Grigori, the Eloim, the Artemesians, and more — all struggle with balancing magic with the everyday, maintaining harmony in their own world while pushing open the doors to worlds less known, although sometimes far more ancient or exotic.

In recent years Storm has returned to the world of Wraeththu with a roar and a cry, creating a second trilogy that interlocks with and then continues the story of the original. The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure, the first book in the series, was published in 2003 to acclaim by fans, and the second book, The Shades of Time and Memory, appeared in 2004. The final book in the new series, The Ghosts of Blood and Innocence was released in 2005. Storm has also written two stand-alone Wraeththu novellas, The Hienama (2005) and Student of Kyme (2008) and a Wraeththu magic book, The Grimoire of Dehara Magick: Kaimana, all published by Immanion Press.

In 2003 Storm began new chapter in her life, starting up a new publishing company called Immanion Press, which has put out editions of books in her out-of-print back catalog, U.K. editions of her latest works, as well as “Wraeththu Mythos” novels and works by other authors, both seasoned authors (Ian Watson, Freda Warrington, etc.) and new faces. IP’s first release was an edited, deluxe edition of The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit, followed by new editions of The Bewitchments of Love and Hate and The Fulfilments of Fate and Desire. All three books are re-edited with cover and interior artwork by Ruby as well as expanded, updated appendices. In 2003, IP released the first “Wraeththu Mythos” novel, Breeding Discontent (2003), by Wendy Darling and Bridgette Parker, and in 2005 another “Mythos” book, Terzah’s Sons, by Victoria Copus, was released. Another major Wraeththu project to come out of Immanion Press was From Enchantments to Fulfilment, a Wraeththu role-playing game. Storm also released a new short story anthology, Mythanima. In 2008 she authored Sekhem Heka, as a guide to a natural healing and self-development system.
